Here's the thing:

-People should be able to afford food and rent if they work 40 hours a week.

That's it. Pretty simple, really.

That just doesn't work though. What if someone is born with a physical disabiltiy and can't walk. Does that person person deserve a minimum wage job? What about someone who is constantly absent because of mental illness? A 15 year old? Someone living in downtown San Fransisco? Does rent with 6 roomates count as affording rent?

Tying a minimum amount required to work doesn't make sense when minimums are so dramatically different for different people. We don't need rubber room jobs where peopel are bored silly because they aren't capable of real work
